    摘要: An automated modular storage library is formed by a plurality of available library elements. Each available library element is selected from a predetermined limited subset of library elements made available for library assembly. This creates a library that is modular by restricting the library elements used during assembly to the limited subset of library elements. According to a partial audit principle, an area where an intervention is to be performed may be physically separated prior to the intervention. After the intervention, the partial audit is conducted in a separated area where the intervention occurred, as the remainder of the library was protected during the intervention by the physical separation.

    摘要: A system and method for configuring expandable buses wherein a host supports a plurality of expandable buses are provided. A plurality of devices are arranged to form a plurality of groups. Each group forms a chain of devices on an expandable bus. Each chain includes an input connector. The chains are configured such that connecting an expandable bus of the host to the input connector for a particular chain causes that particular chain to be directly connected to that particular expandable bus of the host. The absence of connecting any expandable bus of the host to the input connector for a particular chain causes that particular chain to be directly connected to a different chain so as to be indirectly connected to one of the expandable buses of the host. In another embodiment, the connections to an expandible bus of the host must be consistent with a predetermined connection logic.

    摘要: A multiconfiguration module (MCM) includes a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a memory flash, and a complex programmable logic device (CPLD). Hardware interfaces between the concerned components and the use of a raw FPGA configuration data stream (representing a part of FPGA code which should be common to all streams) are discussed. The raw configuration data stream handles communications between a user application running on the host system and the hardware platform components. The user application has the capability to load a new configuration data stream into the memory flash and request a full or partial reconfiguration of the FPGA with the available configuration data stream. This results in an FPGA that is re-programmable on-demand and that is useable in a variety of hardware platforms such as, for example, RAIT.
